Jeffrey Davidow, the White House adviser for this month's Summit of the Americas, which Obama will attend, says the U.S. president has no plans to lift the 47-year-old trade embargo against Cuba.
I heard about this on Bloomberg coming into work this morning. Good stuff!
Amigos,
Don't get too excited, of what this politicians are saying about improving relations with Cuba. They are a bunch of HYPOCRITES; Rep. Cleaver said that "Cuba has more freedom then the U.S." Is he smoking Cuban Cigars with weed in them.
Fidel and Raul have killed thousand of Cubans and have imprisioned thousands more for not believing in his revolucion. One day we will have relations with Cuba, but it has to be done in the interest on the Cuban people and not the greed of some STUPID politicians, that don't have a clue of the suffering of the Cuban people.
Every situation is unique and because we trade with China dosen't mean we have to lift the embargo with Cuba as long as there is a Dictatorship.
What the Cuban people (I'm one of them) need is the same freedoms that we have here in the U.S. By lifting the embargo without guarantees of human rights and freedom to Cubans, all is going to do is to strenghten the Castro regime, and the Cuban people will still be opressed under their Communist system.
Look at your example of China , we trade with China,and they have a world economy now. They even have Triilions of Dollars of our debt in the U.S., but the Chinese people are still opressed. That's not right. That's not what we Cubans want. We have suffered 50 years of dictatorship and what we want is the same freedom as you have in the U.S.
At 5pm today there was a press release that Cuban Americans can now go to Cuba without permission. I'm sure all of the details will be in print tomorrow. Price is a big issue at the moment, from Miami RT ticket is $500. Anybody want to venture into a start-up airline? John
I'm not getting roped into a political debate but more news...

I may try to take a trip there this summer for my own enjoyment. Barring that in the next two years, I'd say the chances of me going to Cuba are 99%
But Obama is keeping the decades-old U.S. trade embargo against Cuba in place, arguing that that policy provides leverage to pressure the regime to free all political prisoners as one step toward normalized relations with the U.S.
